While we were waiting for the bus in downtown Belém, Paulo Barreto smiled.
"Now we are going back in time, a hundred years," he said, and laughed, a high, nervous laugh. We were headed south to Paragominas, a logging center in the heart of the eastern Amazon. Barreto, a young, bespectacled Brazilian forester who splits his time between studying for his Ph.D. at Yale and working at IMAZON, a small environmental research center headquartered near Belém, was taking me to visit a pilot project.

"When I consider the excessively small amount of labor required in this country [Amazonia] to convert the virgin forest into green meadows and fertile plantations, I almost long to come over with half a dozen friends disposed to work and enjoy the country; and show the inhabitants how soon an earthly paradise might be created." —Alfred Wallace, 19th-century British naturalist
